Chapter 640: Throwing the Pot, Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune (4K)

Central Heavenly Realm.

Zhang Jian intended to meet Qingxiao Daoist in person, hoping to gather some information about Yuzhuo Daoist.

As the Daoist who oversees the ears and eyes of Yaochi and the Lantai Dao Palace, Qingxiao Daoist must know more about Yuzhuo Daoist, a powerful Daoist of the Eight Wastelands Dragon Realm.

Unfortunately, Qingxiao Daoist's incarnation is not present in the Qingxiao Immortal Realm.

Zhang Jian made a trip in vain and could only turn back to meet the Yuwang Ancestor and the Qingqiu Lady.

He conveniently decided to consign the ancestral dragon essence blood for sale, to avoid keeping it and causing trouble.

Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm.

Tong Mountain.

Majestic divine mountains suppress heaven and earth, towering within the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm, with vast marshes below stretching endlessly across heaven and earth.

Divine mountains stand in the marsh like scattered stars and chessboard-patterned immortal isles.

This vast marsh experiences periodic reverse floods; when they occur, heaven and earth become vast and desolate, with only a few spiritual mountains appearing above.

However, spiritual mountain禁法 are set below, so they fear not such fierce winds and high waves.

In the Hall of Supreme Virtue, Yuwang learned of Zhang Jian's purpose and immediately frowned slightly.

He had not expected Zhang Jian to actually wish to duel with a disciple of the Water Mother Dao Palace.

The Water Mother Dao Palace is indeed one of the most ancient lineages in heaven and earth; the Water Mother Lady is revered as the Creator Sovereign in many heavenly realms, her cultivation, divine powers, and seniority being extremely ancient throughout all realms, even surpassing the Three Sovereigns of the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm.

When the Three Sovereigns meet her, they must also address her as senior.

Yuwang spoke in a deep voice.

"The various mighty secret techniques developed by the Water Mother Dao Palace are numerous; many possess immense power, are hidden and formless, and impossible to guard against—A Yu, you must be careful!"

After a brief pause, he continued.

"As an innate divine being, your fortune flows like a rainbow; you cannot afford to lose easily, for a single defeat would damage your fortune and greatly affect your future cultivation!"

He added.

"If you can defeat this Yuzhuo Daoist, your fortune will surely rise higher, and you may soon overcome the Second Great Calamity of Destruction and ascend to become a Second Transformation Daoist!"

Yuwang's gaze fell upon Zhang Jian, filled with anticipation for his future.

Zhang Jian's progress also did not exceed his expectations.

Over tens of thousands of years, his cultivation has advanced rapidly.

The aura emanating from him is not far from that of a Second Transformation Daoist.

Yuwang has reason to believe Zhang Jian will soon progress further.

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered; he had heard this saying before.

One burst of effort, then decline, then exhaustion.

If one's fortune suffers a major blow, rising again becomes much harder.

"A Yu, do you have confidence?"

Zhang Jian thought and said: "Ancestor, though I have some confidence, it is not great; I need time to deeply refine the several innate spiritual treasures within my body!"

Zhang Jian remained calm.

Although his foundation is solid, his opponent is also a disciple of the Water Mother Dao Palace, possessing innate spiritual treasures, acquired spiritual treasures, and supreme secret arts.

To claim great confidence would be false.

For now, only by deeply refining the three innate spiritual treasures within his body can he increase his chances of victory.

Yuwang pondered slightly.

"A time secret realm? That is not unavailable!"

"Within the thirty-three heavenly layers of the Central Heavenly Realm lies a unique time secret realm called the Nine Chambers Time Tower; this treasure is one of the界神器 of the thirty-three heavens, possessing unique temporal attributes, and is also an acquired spiritual treasure; entering it to cultivate can amplify the time ratio to ten to one!"

"Ten to one, thirty thousand years! Ancestor, it is still insufficient!"

Zhang Jian slightly shook his head.

Thirty thousand years to a Daoist is merely a couple of extra naps.

To fully refine one innate spiritual treasure is difficult.

Let alone he has three innate spiritual treasures within him.

Yuwang glanced again at Zhang Jian and said.

"Then enter the Kunlun Heavenly Realm; there is a West Kunlun Peak where resides an ancient deity from the primordial era named the Queen Mother of the West, who has established a time secret realm called the Light Dwelling Secret Realm, where the time ratio reaches an astonishing sixty to one, though the cultivation environment there is extremely harsh, with no heavenly spiritual energy supply, serving purely for refining the mind and refining the法!"

Zhang Jian's eyes brightened.

Sixty to one means nearly eighteen thousand years.

This already exceeds one elemental cycle.

With the foundation of innate spiritual treasures, he does not need heavenly spiritual energy, for the innate spiritual pool of innate spiritual treasures is vast and self-supplies innate spiritual energy.

"Ancestor, may I enter the Light Dwelling Secret Realm to cultivate?"

Yuwang glanced at Zhang Jian, a hint of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

"The Queen Mother of the West dwells in seclusion in the West Kunlun Heavenly Realm; she is a reclusive great power, though she has disciples and divine attendants; our Tong Mountain Dao lineage exchanges with hers, so we should have an opportunity; the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Realm and the Queen Mother of the West have no disputes or conflicts, and you have never offended that senior, so there should be no problem!"

"I will do my utmost to secure this for you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian's eyes brightened.

He immediately rose and said.

"Ancestor's care, I keep in my heart; I am endlessly grateful!"

Yuwang laughed heartily, rose from his treasure seat, walked down, and patted Zhang Jian's shoulder.

"A Yu, no need for such thanks; I am merely doing my utmost; moreover, helping you is also helping myself!"

His form flickered, transforming into a streak of light that suddenly vanished within the Hall of Supreme Virtue.

After Yu Wang left, Qingyuan Patriarch, Chufa Patriarch, and Zidian Patriarch, three Taiyi Immortals, walked in from outside the main hall one by one.

The three Immortal Lords wore ethereal immortal robes, tall hats and wide sashes, their expressions carrying some smiles.

Seeing these familiar elders, Zhang Jian immediately greeted them and sat down again.

It was rare to meet these elders, and deep in his heart, Zhang Jian also felt some joy.

Upon meeting, it was inevitable to mention the human dimension and the ages of Zhou Shan Realm.

At this time, Zhou Shan Realm could be said to have completely become the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Not only Zhou Shan Realm, but also many surrounding realms were occupied by the heavenly troops and divine generals of the Great Xia Dynasty, all realms bowed in submission, truly forming a colossal entity.

Among the Nine Domains and myriad realms, it also wielded great influence.

It was now moving toward the former Donghua Heavenly Realm's Pure Yang Immortal Sect.

The new Great Xia Emperor also intended to create a vast realm similar to Donghua Heavenly Realm, to help Zhou Shan Realm replenish its foundation and thus promote ascension.

However, this was a long-term plan.

It also contained too many unknown factors.

But for such a grand ambition, whether Zhang Jian or the Tongshan Dao Tong, both supported it.

With multiple Dao Lords supporting it, the lower realm Great Xia Dynasty also had sufficient confidence to continuously accumulate.

……

After seeing off Chufa Patriarch, Zidian Patriarch, and Qingyuan Patriarch, Zhang Jian pondered briefly, then immediately left Tongshan Dao Tong and entered the Three Emperors City Three Emperors Auction.

Zhang Jian prepared to sell the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood incidentally, to see if he could exchange it for a supreme treasure or a divine ability, which might help in the upcoming duels.

Three Emperors Auction.

This place is located at the center of Three Emperors City.

From afar, this auction appeared extraordinarily luxurious and magnificent, with numerous immortal pavilions and terraces arranged in orderly rows, and many immortals and deities moving about within.

It could be considered one of the top auction houses in the myriad voids of heaven.

At every moment, countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures were traded here; among the arriving immortals and deities were not lacking heavenly court supreme deities, emperor lords, or even hegemons from the myriad voids of heaven, or deities who had changed their appearance.

The Three Emperors Heavenly Realm is a neutral heavenly realm.

Besides powerful beings of races hostile to humanity, or extradimensional demon gods, other immortals and deities—including some from the heterodox immortal Dao with no blemishes, or extradimensional deities, and even other demonic divine alien races—could enter this place to trade.

Zhang Jian glanced at this magnificent auction and immediately entered the Three Emperors Pavilion within.

Zhang Jian is a formal member of the Three Emperors Five Elders Association, and his sequence has already been raised to ten; if he wishes to sell or auction, he will receive discounts and privileges.

After Zhang Jian stated his purpose, a powerful figure personally came out to greet him from within the Three Emperors Pavilion.

The visitor was a tall, thin old man with a jade hairpin on his head, wearing a purple-gold robe, his face bearing a smile.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, this Elder Yu smiled.

"Lord Jiuyou has arrived; I wonder if you have come to purchase heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or if you wish our establishment to auction treasures on your behalf?!"

He paused slightly, then smiled and said.

"The Emperor Lord is a core elder of the Three Emperors Five Elders Association, ranked tenth in sequence, enjoying a thirteen percent discount, and also possesses certain privileges, such as being able to view part of the auction list several days in advance; I wonder if the Emperor Lord wishes to exercise these privileges?!"

This Daoist bore a respectful expression.

This is also a Taiyi Great Perfection Immortal Deity.

It is just unknown which major power within the Three Emperors Five Elders Association he comes from.

The Three Emperors Five Elders Association is composed of numerous major human powers, although all are united under the Three Holy Emperors and the various Emperor Lords, each still has its own demands.

However, the core Three Emperors Holy Hall power occupies absolute dominance.

No one knows how strong the power of the Three Emperors Holy Hall will be.

Zhang Jian slightly nodded and smiled.

"I have come to seek a suitable immortal method, and besides that, I also wish to auction a heavenly and earthly precious treasure!"

"However, Elder Yu, I fear you cannot decide on this treasure!"

"This is indeed a heavenly and earthly precious treasure comparable to a spirit treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yu's expression changed slightly; he looked at Zhang Jian, his demeanor becoming somewhat solemn.

"Please, Emperor Lord, wait a moment; I will now notify the Deputy Pavilion Master to come and preside over this matter!"

Elder Yu harbored no doubt, after all, he was a Dao Realm powerhouse, with no need to deceive him; he rose, slightly clasped his hands, and immediately hurried into the depths of the Three Emperors Pavilion; moments later, a tall Immortal Deity wearing snow-white robes and a jade hairpin emerged from the depths of the Three Emperors Pavilion.

This tall Immortal Deity radiated a strong aura of eternity and ease.

This is a Dao Lord.

Moreover, he is a powerful Dao Lord who attained the Dao Fruit through Innate Divine Dao.

Distant laughter came from afar.

"The Earth Emperor Dao Lord has personally entered the Three Emperors Pavilion; this deity did not come out to greet, hoping the Dao Lord will forgive!"

At this time, Elder Yu also followed beside this Divine Dao Dao Lord; seeing Zhang Jian rise, he hurriedly helped introduce.

"Lord Jiuyou, this is one of the three Deputy Pavilion Masters in our Three Emperors Pavilion, Heavenly Yang Upper Deity, also one of the Twelve Divine Emperors of the Tianyuan Realm; in our Three Emperors Five Elders Association, he also holds sequence tenth, a great wielder of divine powers!"

Zhang Jian's pupils flickered slightly.

The Tianyuan Realm is one of the heavenly realm dimensions under the leadership of the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm; it is a void heavenly realm primarily based on Divine Dao.

The number of human beings within is also not small.

In the Tianyuan Realm, there are twelve Divine Emperors, each a named and surnamed Divine Dao powerhouse, many of whom also serve in the Heavenly Court, but all twelve Divine Emperors are core elder-level existences in the Three Emperors Heavenly Realm.

"Heavenly Yang Dao Brother!"

Zhang Jian slightly clasped his hands, after a brief greeting, he then stated the purpose of this visit.

"Heavenly Yang Dao Brother, the item I wish to auction is this; please, Heavenly Yang Dao Brother, first examine it, confirm its authenticity!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian condensed from his hand a square Innate Jade Box.

The jade box was crafted from innate beautiful jade, covered all over with a strong atmosphere of lunar yin ice sealing.

The Heavenly Yang Daoist's expression remained unmoved; at this time he had already dismissed his attendants and asked.

"May I ask, Earth Emperor Daoist, what is this?"

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered with a hint of strange color as he smiled and said.

"Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Yang Daoist's hand holding the jade box trembled slightly, and his eyes changed color.

The motion of holding that innate jade box also came to a stop at this time.

The Heavenly Yang Daoist looked up and down at Zhang Jian, his eyes undergoing violent changes.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

He naturally knew very well the attitude of the Central Heavenly Court toward the Ancestral Dragon's soul.

This item counts as one of the 'prohibited goods'.

But the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm is ultimately not a vassal of the Central Heavenly Realm; rather, it is more like an equal ally, acknowledging on the surface the position of the Heavenly Court as the hub of all realms, yet secretly maintaining its own system.

These 'prohibited goods' are not entirely unpurchasable at auction.

However, this item involves the most supreme existence in the myriad voids of heaven and earth—the Ancestral Dragon!

If true, once the news spreads, it will surely cause a great uproar!

But for the Three Emperors' auction, this item is also a gimmick.

A gimmick to further enhance influence.

The Heavenly Yang Daoist's expression was solemn; after thinking, he still opened the innate jade box in his hand.

Gazing at the slumbering seven-colored nine-clawed true dragon phantom within the innate jade box, the Heavenly Yang Daoist could almost instantly confirm.

This is the genuine article!

Yet he still took out a set of professional surveying treasures from his person and, in front of Zhang Jian, conducted a survey, confirming its authenticity from multiple aspects before speaking to Zhang Jian a moment later.

"This item is indeed genuine; I do not know in what manner you, Daoist friend, wish to auction it?"

"By barter for goods, or purely trading heavenly and earthly treasures, heavenly and earthly spiritual roots, or even heavenly and earthly spiritual fruits, with no restrictions whatsoever!

Furthermore, regarding whether the auction side has special stipulations, such as not opening to a particular major power, we can arrange a dedicated auction event for this item for you, Daoist friend!"

The Heavenly Yang Daoist's expression was solemn and very serious.

There is no doubt about the grade of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.

Without question, the Earth Emperor Daoist before him is a major client.

Moreover, he is also the tenth-ranked core elder in the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly.

An existence of the same standing as him.

Zhang Jian pondered slightly and then immediately said.

"Apart from excluding the strong ones of the Panwang Dao Palace from the invitation list, I have no other demands!"

After a brief pause, Zhang Jian smiled and said.

"As for the auction method, it is still barter for goods, accepting heavenly and earthly treasures, spiritual treasures, or spiritual roots and other forms of bidding, with no attribute restrictions; the highest bidder wins."

Zhang Jian currently holds strong opinions about the Panwang Dao Palace.

He has not forgotten that the strong ones of the Panwang Dao Palace dispatched the Mysterious Yuan Daoist to attempt to kidnap the Zhou Mountain Realm, scheming against him.

Now he cannot take revenge, but he will certainly not give them a chance to grow stronger.

The Heavenly Yang Daoist smiled slightly and said.

"The Panwang Dao Palace has long been listed by the various Holy Emperors on the blacklist of humanity; Daoist friend, rest assured, they will absolutely not appear on the invitation list of the Three Emperors' auction!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian felt relieved.

The Heavenly Yang Daoist's eyes brightened slightly, and he added.

"Daoist friend, do you still have a time limit?!"

Zhang Jian laughed and said: "Within three thousand years, I hope to complete the sale within three thousand years!"

As long as it is within three thousand years, it can still exert some effect at the time of contest.

Zhang Jian also does not wish to sell this treasure cheaply.

That would be a waste of opportunity.

The Heavenly Yang Daoist's eyes brightened; three thousand years is still fairly ample.

Giving the Three Emperors' auction sufficient promotion time, enough to sell this treasure at a good price.

After handing over the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood to the Three Emperors' Pavilion, Zhang Jian felt refreshed and clear-minded, and immediately returned to the Tongshan Dao Lineage, specifically awaiting good news from the Yu King's side.

……

At this moment, the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly became lively.

The news of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood entering the Three Emperors' auction was reported layer by layer and finally reached the ears of several powerful beings deep within the Three Emperors' Pavilion.

At this moment, in the Three Emperors' Holy Hall, beams of light and shadow descended from above, and the elders of the Three Emperors and Five Elders Assembly, upon receiving the news, all entered the Holy Hall.

The Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood flowing into the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm is naturally a major event.

At this moment, figures emanating a vast and magnificent aura appeared; seven or eight figures each radiated a vast, ocean-like majestic divine power of rules, their bodies surrounded by divine light as if transcending the great Dao of heaven and earth, suppressing the source of the great Dao of heaven and earth.

Yet in the eight divine thrones at the center, whether the three Holy Emperors or the five Emperor Lords, none had appeared.

Instead, in the ninth position, just below these eight positions, a majestic figure had taken seat, and at this moment this figure bore a smile.

"This Earth Emperor Daoist is indeed skilled at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune!"

This is a supreme sovereign whose body shines with intense human Dao aura, also a supreme human emperor born in the Desolate Wilds world; the power he displays is extraordinarily vast and mighty, and furthermore carries a tremendous authority to dominate all realms of heaven and earth.

The other light and shadow figures have atmospheres not much different from his.

They are all human sovereigns born from the myriad heavens and void, or they are emperors of the human Dao.

Each was a powerful human who once shook the myriad heavens and void in their era, or who once awed the gods of the myriad heavens.

Upon hearing the words of the leading figure, the gods all nodded slightly.

Although the ancestral dragon's essence blood is undoubtedly one of the most precious treasures in heaven and earth, containing within it the profound mystery of the primordial imperial Dao fruit and the ancestral dragon's vital essence,

this treasure now harbors great hidden danger, given that the whereabouts of the ancestral dragon's soul are unknown.

Whether one refines it oneself or passes it down to disciples and descendants, there is a possibility that the ancestral dragon will come seeking it.

"Then, First Elder, how should we deal with this object? This drop of ancestral dragon essence blood contains part of the dragon's Dao fruit; if it could be integrated into the human race's fortune, it would surely be greatly beneficial. Should we three sovereigns and five elders directly purchase it?"

At this moment, a towering sovereign gazed over, his eyes carrying an inquiring look.

A mere Dao Lord would naturally fear the karmic entanglements on the ancestral dragon's body.

But the human race does not fear it.
